A note for parents
This is a contemporary LGBTQ+ romance centered on a royal prince discovering love and identity while managing family expectations and public scrutiny. The story emphasizes self-acceptance, authenticity, and challenging social prejudices (homophobia, racism, transphobia, classism), making it emotionally complex but ultimately hopeful. While there are references to mature themes like alcohol use and some sexual content, the book is fundamentally character-driven and age-appropriate for mature teens who enjoy emotional, relationship-focused narratives.

From the publisher
Young Royals meets Red, White, and Royal Blue in this heart-pumping romance by award-winning author Julian Winters! When roguish Prince Jadon of Îles de la Rêverie is left in America to clean up his image after a horribly public break-up gone viral, romance is not on the table. Carefully planned photo ops with puppies?... Young Royals meets Red, White, and Royal Blue in this heart-pumping romance by award-winning author Julian Winters! When roguish Prince Jadon of Îles de la Rêverie is left in America to clean up his image after a horribly public break-up gone viral, romance is not on the table. Carefully planned photo ops with puppies? Yes. Scheduled appearances with the Santa Monica elite? Absolutely. Rendezvous with a pink-haired, film-obsessed hottie from the private school where he’s currently enrolled? Uhhhh… Together with his entourage—a bitingly witty royal guard, Rêverie’s future queen (and Jadon’s brilliant older sister), and a quirky royal liaison—Jadon’s on a mission to turn things around and show his parents, and his country, that he’s more than just a royal screw-up. If he doesn’t prove that he’s the prince Rêverie deserves? Well, he may not be allowed home… But falling for a not-so-royal American boy has Jadon redefining what it means to be a leader. If he can be someone’s Prince Charming just by being himself, maybe that’s all it takes to win over a nation. Or at least a prince can dream…
